Convert to folding ROPS 4210

[Anonymous Poster]

FWIW, my 2210 owner's manual says to NOT wear the seat belt if you have removed the ROPS! So at least someone at Deere recognizes that you might remove it for operation under trees or other low-height conditions.

My dealer said nothing about invalidating the warranty, and my owner's manual doesn't, either. All the dealer would say is that it's not offered and that they could not advise me on how to modify it.

I certainly agree that Deere would not be responsible if a modified component fails.

And I do think the "tube within a tube" approach would be just as strong if not stronger than factory.

Hey, Mike-

I like your "profile" picture - I think it is hilarious, especially when I see it under the safety form.

Can you post the full-size pic under the photos forum? Please? I wanna check out the full detail and show a couple of people.

Those dirtpiles you are jumping could be filled with rocks or something dangerous. You should be jumping mattresses or pillows....

If you have an enclosed trailer - can't you put some car like ramps in the front of the trailer. This would lower the roll bar at the back of the trailer ??? Of course I would use tie downs and blocking to keep tractor in place.
